I don't know where you get that 30% number. It seems to me that about 90% of the drivers do use them. I question whether or not they should be used in a round about since you are not actually making a turn.

If you enter a round about at six o'clock in the right hand lane and exit it at twelve o'clock in the same lane, you have not left your lane and you have not made a turn. It's nothing more than a curve in the road.

Does Florida law say anything about this? Maybe there are special rules for turn signals in round abouts.
